After working within the property industry for many years, I noticed there was a gap in the market for an agent that offers the best features of both internet and high street agency. Modern Move has been developed as a unique hybrid agency.
I offer my clients everything a traditional high street agent does, along with the additional features of an internet agent. These include extensive local knowledge, high end, one to one customer service, multiple modern advertising methods and extended working hours.
Since being established in 2017, Modern Move has grown into a thriving independent agency, with a large amount of business coming from personal recommendations within the local community.
I pride myself on my customer service standards, and I believe the numerous client testimonials Modern Move has received over the years speak for themselves.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for your support and hard work during our house sale. You have been brilliant throughout the whole process – your knowledge, transparency and calmness throughout our many ups and downs has been brilliant and very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to go through you again for any future house transactions.
Thanks for everything you did to help sell my cottage quickly and with the minimum fuss. The thought of selling seemed quite daunting, as I thought it would take a while and be really stressful, but you helped so much, finding a buyer in only 10 days and communicating well with both myself and my solicitor to smooth the way to completion. Thanks for everything and I wish you well for the future.
We sold our house in Ivybridge with Portia and Danielle, and we were very pleased with them. They gave a really personal service and made a greater effort than the big chain agents. The description they came up with for our house was not full of the usual tired old clichés, but instead gave a really good description of the features of the house, both the obvious and the not-so-obvious. We have moved house many times, and used both the large nationwide chains and the no-frills online-only firms, and if we move again, we will go with Modern Move. The extra effort they put in makes them well worth it.
I first viewed the house at the end of February 2020. Visited again two days later and agreed to buy. Although it was a 'no chain cash sale', which was good, by the time lockdown had begun, it was a worry as to whether the sale could still go ahead. Yes, they said, no problem, we can do it. And they did. Modern Move were brilliant, quick response to queries and replies which certainly reduced the stress factor. Contracts were exchanged a short while later, and with an excellent Totnes solicitor, we completed, and 7 weeks later I moved in! Thank you, Modern Move!
Modern Move were the new girls in town when we let them know in December that "in the Spring" our house would be for sale. We were impressed by their listening ability and enthusiasm. As it happened, they had indeed listened carefully both to us and then later to the potential buyer who strolled into the office one day in February. Within days, the house was sold, even before active online listing could be developed. Their professionalism and availability were useful both to us and our buyer, who was at times uncertain about the process. As a seller, one sometimes loses sight of the work involved in nurturing the buyers. All went smoothly and quickly and 7 weeks later the deed was done.
Modern Move are a fantastic, friendly and highly professional estate agent. We had a difficult sale in a chain - and if it had not been for their experience, professionalism and intelligence in dealing with the various parties - I don’t think the sale would have gone through in time. It also made a huge difference to us that they were available and always returned our calls and enquiry’s promptly. Moving house can be a stressful time and having a good estate agent can make the world of difference.
Modern Move cannot be recommended highly enough - from our initial meeting and valuation right through to completion (and even the bit beyond!). All house sales and purchases have a few complications along the way and I honestly believe that the professionalism and speedy communication shown by Portia and Danielle at every stage of the process kept both our sale and sanity on track. Thank you both so much!
Selling a unique or older property is sometimes difficult! After 2 years on the market, 2 estate agents and almost 80 viewings (everyone said it was a wonderful property), my house has finally sold! Third time lucky with Modern Move! The team were very professional and honest in their approach to prospective buyers and I was very happy with the service I received! Will happily recommend them to my family and friends.
